Yes, you can request samples anytime you like. You will have to pay depending on the size of the sample. For example, a 100ml duty paid sample will cost roughly GBP35 including shipping. You can order larger samples if you so wish.
Yes. There would be costs involved in bottling, depending on which bottles, corks + stoppers, labels and not to forget UK Duty and VAT payable. You could roughly estimate this would cost around GBP 5,000.00 for a standard bottling for a cask purchased at under GBP5,000.00. The VAT is calculated as 20% of your purchase price of the cask. So if you buy one of our Bourbon Barrels for GBP1,700.00 at the time you bottle the VAT will work out to be around GBP340.00. These figures are subject to change depending on how many years you have aged your cask etc.
At the current rate UK Duty is GBP28.27 per litre of pure alcohol. Meaning duty paid on a 700ml bottle of whisky at 40% ABV would be about GBP8.35
20-30% per annum
The most important element to investing in a cask is buying it at the right price for the amount of time you are willing to wait. You cannot make money out of something you pay too much for in the first place.
For example. If you buy a first fill cask of whisky at GBP5,000.00 which is the average I have seen on the market you would be waiting a minimum of 5 years before you were actually able to sell it at a profit.
Then there is time. If you are willing to hold this cask for 20 years this may still be a profitable experience, depending on the brand and cask type and whether the cask will make it to that age.
Cask type plays an important role in the maturation of your whisky. If you plan to keep your cask for 18 years or more you may want to start the ageing process in a refill cask, which means it has previously been filled with whisky, maybe once, twice or even three times in some cases.
Once your cask gets a few years from your target maturation, put it into a sherry, bourbon or wine cask to finish it off. If on the other hand, you want something to drink in 8-12 years, then using a first fill sherry, bourbon or wine cask would be suitable, it will add colour and flavour to your spirit.
The longer you wait the better, in our opinion your whisky will get. The contact with carbon via the charred interior of the cask will draw out impurities in the in
the spirit and make it overall a more pleasant experience.
Platinum Cask (PC) is a company registered in the UK. It has been set up by Louis Haseman from Fah Mai Holdings Inc. and his team. Whisky is becoming a highly sought-after commodity. Over the years Whisky has grown and grown and what started off as an everyday gentleman’s tipple has now become something only the “super-rich” can afford in meaningful quantities. We have seen the likes of the “Platinum Whisky Fund from Hong Kong” open up with a minimum investment of USD250k. For many, this is out of our price range. I have come up with a concept that allows ordinary, everyday people, with everyday amounts of expendable income, to benefit from extraordinary returns.
